Choose the look
For whom and what you need
For everybody who finds the portal too bright or too dim, or needs stronger colours and larger buttons. The look changes only colours, type and spacing; everything stays where it is, so the Manual and its pictures hold in every look.
You only need to be signed in.
Steps
Open Look in your profile
Click your name (or its initials) at the top right and, in the account menu, Profile. In the list of sections at the top of the page click Look.
Pick one of the four
Each choice has a small preview of its colours:
- Follow device — light or dark as your device is set; if it switches by itself in the evening, the portal switches too. A new account has this one.
- Light — a light background and dark text, always.
- Dark — a dark background and light text, always.
- High contrast — black and white, blue links, a yellow frame around whatever you are on, and larger buttons and fields.
Click Save. The page loads again in the new look and the portal says The look has been saved. It applies on every device you sign in on.
The look goes with you
The look is saved on your account, not in the browser. On your phone, your computer and in the installed app you see it from your next click after signing in, on every page of the portal, the Manual included. The pages before signing in — sign-in, sign-up, forgotten password — follow the device, because they do not know yet who you are.
What others see
Nobody. The look is yours alone; Managers and neighbours do not see which one you chose, and their portal looks as they chose.
Mails
Changing the look sends no email. The portal's emails look the same in every look; how your email program shows them is up to it.
When something goes wrong
I chose Follow device and the portal is still light
The device is in light mode, or the browser does not pass its setting on to the portal. Turn dark mode on in the device's settings, or choose Dark in your profile.
The look did not change on another device
An open page does not redraw itself. Click any link or reload the page. If you are not signed in there, the page follows the device.
The sign-in page is dark although I have Light
Before you sign in the portal does not know who you are and follows the device. Once you are signed in, your look applies.
Where it ends
The Journey ends with the message The look has been saved. It applies on every device you sign in on. and the page in the new look. You change it back the same way, whenever you like.
